A friendly ghost at Pitchfork Media wrote about ‘It Had Wings’ for the 'Forkcast' section of the site. It makes me wonder how these sounds would have turned out if I had grown up in Hillsborough. I have been listening to Ellen Fullman and dreaming about building a long string instrument to be played outside. Buy this record now.Incidentally, the house finches that inspired the piece ‘a house finch’ on It Had Wings have returned to nest in the rafters of my porch. I am going to try to record them again and perhaps make a video. So spring is on in full force. Look out for feltbattery happenings in May-June and a split cassette between feltbattery and fellow etheric kinsman Myth Trees. Drink mint tea.
